I like to read. I am wanting to pick up a book or two on riding techniques. What have some of you all read out here that you would suggest to get to help inprove all faucets of riding with an emphasis on cornering? I am a decent rider..not a noob, but I always want to improve my skills. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

"Total Control" by Lee Parks
"Twist of the Wrist" I and II (mostly II) by Kieth Code
For something longer try "Proficient Motorcycling" I can't remember the author of that one. They can all be found at B&N for about $20 each.

Proficient Motorcycling is written by David Hough. It doesn't focus as much on performance riding as the other mentioned.

A book I enjoyed was "Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way" by Reg Pridmore.

I also enjoyed "Sport Riding Techniques" by Nick Ineastach (I know that's the wrong spelling...but it's close....)

Keith Code also has - "The Science of Speed" his third book. I got the most out of "Twist of the Wrist II".
